As a side-side note, I always found fascinating how you can have essentially a 6502 with display, 2 MB of memory (or more) and a USB port for a few bucks, as demonstrated here:

I often wonder why the manufacturers - besides the photoframe usage - don't sell an "open" version with some toolkit to let people have fun with these devices.

Western Design Center (who still manufactures 65C02S’s) has a series of development boards based on the 6502: https://www.tindie.com/stores/wdc/

Of course, they’re way more expensive than an Arduino Mega, which is approximately as powerful…
